The creeper rider

[Drano]

In this modern era of woman empowerment I will not get involved in a situation because some women may feel it as a bit of encroachment on their independent character. However, if a woman does ask for my help I'm more than willing to oblige and step in.

I agree with this as well. As much as I, or many stand-up guys, would like to intervene on a woman's behalf, this is still employing a double-standard. It would demand that men be polite to women whilst demanding that other men be the enforcers. As much as I, and others, would love to step in and take care of the situation, empowerment comes from taking action yourself. Otherwise it's simply trading male dominance of one sort for that of another sort. It may take care of the pigs, but it simultaneously fosters the age-old mentality that women still need men to take out the trash for them. I think the better solution is for women to come emotionally/physically prepared to deal with the swine in such a way that he realizes his error and thinks twice about crossing the line. While men should inherently be respectful, some of them don't give it until it is earned.

Lol!! figured it just had to be internet sarcasm.

I agree I wouldn't run to a man every time this happens to me....it happened again today, I just deal with it until it becomes stalking or violent and then I run to a man who can chest puff and support me.

So then when should we know when to stand up for someone versus when to stand down and let you deal with it yourself? I mean that as an honest question.

[Drama2]

The same way you would with your sister......

Basically what they are saying is they will let you know when they want someone to step in......... kind of the opposite of how the original post made things sound.

Honestly myself I won't do a thing until I'm asked.

It would be no different for me if Big Berths is woman handling you and I observe you in distress and balled up like a little boy reliving the crying game..I would rescue you...maybe. haha

[MarkT]

balled up like a little boy reliving the crying game..

Hey now, there's no reason to bring up my history here! My therapist is gonna hate you now!

even if Big Bertha does manage to get her hands on me, chances are I'm not going to fight it. Might as well give her a thrill and let her drink in the awesomeness that is The Black Knight.

As an ugly, old, married guy who likes to ride, I purposefully avoid talking to women riders to avoid creating a bad impression.

In the end, the impression that I make is that I'm a weird old guy who is antisocial. Either way, it's unfortunate because I like meeting new people and making new friends, and I've been told I'm a decent listener/conversationalist.

I didn't take up motorcycling to hook up, get laid, hit on women, or any of that bullshit. It's too bad that a few dirty old men make all of us look like pervs.

[Aaron]

Just because I'm a dirty perv and make you all look bad doesn't mean you have to call me old, dick. Thanks.

[FZRguy]

My thought too. You can tell when a female has her guard up, which is most of the time. Can't blame them, really. Too bad for both sexes that they miss out on meeting the good guys protecting from the 1%.

Meh its your own fault.

Creepy is in the eye of the beholder.

What's creppy coming from this dude;



Might be witty and charming coming from this dude;

Hey, don't be dissing Biker Fox.

A hug for you John and Zanatos. I am anti-social in my personal life as well, I guess guarded as well because I do deal with a lot of c reepers in my work life. I am not here to hook up, but to ride in this male dominant sport and with being new I want to learn, well I can learn for myself or approach you guys in which all I want is knowledge and experience from you. Which is safer for me. And for those who have called me when in need I am for ever grateful.

I'm a good mix of both introvert and extravert. If I know you, I'm the easiest guy in the world to get along with. Love having a good time and laughing it up. If I don't know you, chances are it will take me awhile before I warm up to you. People that I don't know, I keep them at a distance in order for me to study them a bit. Figure out if I will like who they are, or end up not wanting to be around them. In terms of women, unless it's a woman that absolutely captivates me and I'm mesmerized by her I'll go up and talk to her and even ask her out. Most of the time, I keep a distance from the ladies as well. You never know what's going through their mind and I'm sure plenty of them just want to be left alone when they are out.

Now that being said, get several Coors lights in me and I will chat up all the ladies and not care if every one of them shoots me down. I'm just happy to chat up the ladies. <----(this doesn't happen very often) LOL!!

[mdub]

I am same way soul brotha. cept for the coors light....

[#1Townie]

I'm just a prick.... unless I like you. Then I'm just a dick. Lol
